    The Restoration of Heritage Properties a Tax Credit

    A TAX CREDIT FOR THE RESTORATION OF HERITAGE PROPERTIES ASK YOUR MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT TO SUPPORT BILL C-323 An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act (Rehabilitation of Historic Property) Peter Van Loan, MP Bill C-323 What People Saying about Bill C-323: "This is an idea that has had widespread support from heritage advocates, federal, provincial, territorial and municipal governments, and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities over the years. It’s exciting to see it tabled in the House and given first reading. We know that the tax system can be a powerful tool to stimulate private investment in heritage buildings. In the United States, the introduction of a 20 percent federal tax credit for rehabilitation of heritage buildings 40 years ago revolutionized the way developers think about old buildings and launched a booming and competitive preservation industry." – National Trust for Canada The Fairmont Empress Hotel—Victoria, BC Contact Your MP, and Tell Them to Support Bill C-323 Write them at: House of Commons, Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6 Or, phone or email them. Bill C-323 What is Bill C-323? A tax credit that will seek to limit the destruction of Canada’s heritage buildings, and instead encourage the rehabilitation of these culturally significant buildings The Bill would also allow owners to write-off spending on heritage restoration at a faster rate than is currently the case Why introduce Bill C-323? There is a tremendous public interest in the preservation and restoration of heritage properties. But the cost burden of doing so is usually more expensive to owners than other alternatives—like demolition and new construction This Bill helps owners who are preserving heritage buildings with the cost of delivering this public benefit The pilot program for this policy was very successful in encouraging investment from private individuals and businesses.

Earlier this year, the facility was granted a six-month extension until December 16, 2020, to address the substantial economic impact on the community of shutting down the facility. The government of Ontario recognizes the importance of the forestry sector and supports a longer-term transition plan to find alternative uses for the waste biomass, however this transition plan will take time to implement (i.e., approximately five-years). In light of the implementation considerations, I am asking the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) to enter into preliminary discussions with Atlantic Power and report back on potential options to contract the Calstock facility for five-years. These discussions should ensure ratepayer value while considering Atlantic Power’s revenue requirements. The IESO may also wish to consider reducing the generator output where feasible while considering impacts on local forestry operations. Re- contracting Calstock would help mitigate impacts to the waste biomass supply chain in northern Ontario, while they transition to alternative uses over the long-term.

This study sets out to examine how the mainstream media framed the debate over Bill C-51 from the introduction of the bill to the government’s introduction of amendments on March 31, 2015. Using agenda setting and framing theories, this study looks at the relationship between the media agenda and the policy agenda. The bill received significant coverage over this period, dominating the media agenda. Using content analysis, this study conducts an in-depth analysis of The Globe and Mail’s coverage of the issue to examine which stakeholders and opinion leaders were most frequently cited, the major arguments for the legislation and the perceived shortcomings and risks associated with the legislation, and the number and nature of the suggested solutions (to make the legislation more acceptable) that found their way into the government’s proposed amendments. Key findings indicate that, although the government introduced amendments that addressed some of the concerns expressed, these amendments did not include the most frequently mentioned concern: the lack of Parliamentary oversight.

In particular, Strategic Political Communication (SPC) is becoming the dominant form of political communication between Canada’s executive branch of government and the public, both during elections and as part of a “permanent campaign” to gain and maintain public support as means to political power. This dissertation argues that SPC techniques interfere with the public’s ability to know how they are governed, and therefore undermines the central right of citizens in a democracy to legitimate elected representation by scrutinizing government and holding it to account. Realization of that right depends on an authentic political communication process that provides citizens with an understanding of government. By seeking to hide or downplay blameworthy actions, SPC undermines the legitimation role public discourse plays in a democracy.

One resolution, 07-2006 Missing Persons Policies, has been concluded. All other resolutions remain open. During the period February – July, 2009, The CACP National Office received a letter from the Hon. Rob Nicholson, Minister of Justice and Attorney General indicating support for the progressive policing principles set out in Resolution 2008-7. He also suggested that the CACP consider communicating with the provincial jurisdictions who have not enacted their own Uniform Law Conference of Canada (ULCC) legislation to advocate that that they enact that legislation. He also highlighted how various government ministries have, and continue to support of various resolutions. On May 25, President Chabot met with the Minister of Public Safety Canada, the Hon. Peter Van Loan to address interoperability, the National Framework for Progressive Policing, lawful access and First Nations Policing and Civil unrest. Letters were sent to the Prime Minister and the Ministers of Justice and Public Safety reinforcing the need to introduce effective lawful access legislation that balances the needs of law enforcement and national security investigations with the privacy rights of Canadians. The new lawful access legislation was introduced to the House of Commons June 23, 2009. A letter thanking the Ministers for the efforts was sent shortly thereafter. The CACP received a letter from Minister Rick Bartolucci, Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services. He highlighted efforts of his Ministry in support of CACP resolutions and indicated his Ministry’s ongoing support for the CACP’s efforts.

    Faith Organizing, Party Politics, and the exceptionalism of abortion in the Harper Era1,2 Paul Thomas PhD Candidate, University of Toronto [email protected] Jerald Sabin PhD Candidate, University of Toronto [email protected] Paper presented at the annual meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association, University of Victoria, June 4 – 6, 2013 1 Working paper. Please do not cite without authors’ permission. 2 The authors would like to acknowledge the generous support of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. 1.0 Introduction Can the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) maintain the support of its social conservative base while firmly resisting their policy demands with regard to abortion? Prime Minister Stephen Harper stated emphatically during the 2011 federal election that his government would not revisit its stance on abortion, announcing that: “as long as I am prime minister, we will not reopen the debate on abortion. We will leave the law as it stands” (CBC 2011). Yet instead of settling the issue, the Prime Minister’s comments have encouraged anti- abortion activists both inside and outside the CPC to escalate their activities. In the past year, Canada’s abortion laws have become a site of open conflict within the CPC, leading to such incidents as MP Mark Warawa’s private member’s motion on sex-selective abortion (M-408) and the distribution of graphic postcards in the prime minister’s riding by anti-abortion activists. Despite its recent formation, the CPC operates as a traditional Canadian brokerage party, with both fiscal and social conservative wings (Haussman and Rankin 2009).
